Hi guys,

Guess as the only (?) resident American it falls to me to correct the above. 
BO = Body Odour
BS = Bull Shit  (that commodity produced in abundance by MS, politicians, etc)

BS clearly ought to count as foul language (if Shit still does), but traditionally 
got away with less opprobrium as you didn't actually utter the S word.

Cheers,  Jan
